their families. the campaigners think the government is so frightened of the damage to the church that a full excavation would do that it is resisting it so they're threatening court action i think the only way in which this will be resolved is through an order of the superior courts of this country i can't see any other way because there is no will there's no wish there is no appetite church and state in this country are still wedded in a poisonous pact. through full to be dozens and dozens of other places like this around ireland a full investigation into the scale of what happened across all the countries mother and baby homes would be explosive and could destroy the reputation of the church hardly a surprise then the survivors think the government would rather bury the truth than dig up the past. in ireland. all the news of course on our website there what is on your screen the address al jazeera
